Chapter 24: The River of the Past of the Republic of China
At the beginning of June, Henan was already very hot, and it was impossible to stay in this place if I didn't evacuate. He is the defender, and the sacrifices are in the trenches, and he can soon dig a deep pit and bury it. But not in small Japan. The entire defensive line, the defensive line of a regiment, was stretched out for a long time, and it was impossible to rush through one line during the attack, so it was very scattered. A large area outside the trench was littered with corpses. Although Li Jinshi tried his best to shout from the beginning and told Little Japan not to attack when he cleaned up the corpses, the two sides of the war could not reach trust, especially the mentality of Little Japan, which has no bottom line, and it was impossible to believe that the national army would not attack.
I saw a corpse explode again, it was really an explosion, the whole corpse suddenly cracked from the highest part of the belly drum, and then there was a "bang", the black, red, yellow, and green ones were called all kinds of flowers blooming, and then look at the corpse, it was tattered, it was a pile of minced meat.
With the naked eye, you can almost see the corpse being steamed, and then slowly expanding, and the air is filled with a foul smell, and they dare not gasp for breath. Little Japan is no longer able to attack, and it may step on the already rotten minced meat at any time.
"Listen to the Japanese soldiers on the other side, please rest assured. As long as we do not carry weapons to clean up the corpses according to our requirements, we will not attack...... The Japanese soldiers on the opposite side listened to ...... "Li Jinshi's voice was hoarse, there was no way, he could speak a few words of Japanese." Teach them, no one learns, saying that they have an enmity with Little Japan, and they don't learn bird language. If Li Jinshi hadn't said it, it is estimated that they would have said that it was a dog barking. In fact, they all know that when they open their mouths and shout loudly, their mouths are full of foul smells. After finishing speaking, it was useless to rinse your mouth, and I was sick to my stomach for a while.
Li Jinshi sincerely hoped that little Japan would clean up the pulpy-like minced meat underneath, and if it was like this, maybe even if it withdrew, there would be a plague, which would be more terrible than war.
"Stop shouting, go back to the pit and rest. Anyway, the grandson doesn't fight. "Tuanza saw that there was no movement on the other side, and he felt that he couldn't make it.
The communications corps was also running in this direction, sweating and ticking. "Tuanzao, the division headquarters is calling, let us retreat tonight!"
In the end, the division headquarters still didn't really abandon them, and informed them at the last moment of the retreat.
"What does it mean to retreat with the division headquarters, isn't this just to block the pursuing troops? In particular, I am embarrassed to say that I will retreat at the same time! After seeing the river, the place is closer to the division headquarters than we are to the division headquarters deployment area, and when we pass, the special mothers have already crossed the river!" Cao Jinbiao originally thought that this time it was not that they were abandoned, but that the division headquarters had discovered it and saved them from fire and water. But it wasn't until I read the telegram that I realized that it was after they were cut off! They were the ones who saved people from fire and water.
Anyway, I'm used to watching the group seat scolding my mother and complaining, since my old army was disabled, everyone scolded my mother like this, and I was used to it as a waste in this way, and I got used to it, not only used to scolding my mother, but also used to the division department doing some things that scolded my mother and didn't understand my hatred.
There are quiet times at night on the battlefield, and tonight it will be quiet. It's been that way ever since there were exploding corpses. And Li Jinshi, they scattered the team at this time and left secretly.
The crossing point determined by the division headquarters is between Shangqiu and Lanfeng, about 100 miles away from Shangqiu. According to Li Jinshi, it took at least three days for them to get to the place where they crossed the river, and this was not counting the possibility of encountering the enemy or being pursued by the enemy on the way. The choice of the place to cross the river should be correct, only through the gap where the Japanese army in Shangqiu and the Japanese army in Lanfeng converged, and the south bank of the Yellow River was still in the area controlled by the national army.
Wishes are good, reality is always not as expected. Li Jinshi's retreat ranged from an orderly beginning, to occasional blockades in the middle, to a later embarrassment. There are more and more chasing soldiers, and the Japanese troops on the east and west sides are also converging soon, so it is inevitable that they will encounter, and Li Jinshi is already in the seams. A real opportunistic move.
It has been four or five days since I finally saw the Yellow River and the national army that was retreating across the river. The retreat point was surrounded by fortifications, which were supposed to be set up to hold back the Japanese troops, but now it seems that they have already shot at their compatriots who were crowded and heckling, and even the confrontation is estimated to have occurred, and there are still corpses lying on the ground.
Li Jinshi, they followed at the end, well... It's the last. There should be someone not far behind them, but it must be Little Japan.
Li Jinshi pursed his lips and sat down directly in a shady place, looking like it might be his turn that day. Wait!
As soon as Li Jinshi thought about closing his eyes and resting, he calmed down first, and at the same time, he naturally played his role in listening to the voice. Running away for too long has made it a habit to be vigilant on every occasion except when it is particularly safe.
No, Li Jinshi jumped up, didn't have time to say anything and pulled up Cao Jinbiao's legs and ran, starting to run back and forth with a conditioned reflex, and then turned northwest after two steps. He heard a sound of fear, which he remembered vividly, that it was one time when Master took him to see the sound of a flood, and this time the waves should have been countless times larger than what he had seen. That time had already scared him!
"Run...... Follow me......" shouted Li Jinshi as he ran. And by this time the rumble had become clearer, and then... Everyone heard it, and they all looked in the direction where the sound came from.
Li Jinshi didn't stop, and Cao Jinbiao was dragged by Li Jinshi and stumbled. It was out of the instinct of trust that he ran with Li Jinshi. Hearing Li Jinshi shouting, he also shouted, "Run with us!" At first, he didn't know what was going on, but now he saw it!
The water wall is more than ten meters high, with white water splashing at the top, undulating, as if there is a board of thousands of square meters behind it pushing the water roaring and rushing. Whatever is placed in it, whatever it is, it is anything, it doesn't matter whether it's houses, trees, bridges, people, livestock, vehicles, living or dead things, it's all swept in, disappears in an instant, and then... And then I saw... It's still the wall of water, rumbling and moving on, once again embroiling everything in its reach, destroying it, and then continuing to destroy it again.
Li Jinshi desperately dragged Cao Jinbiao away, and Cao Jinbiao's pale face was bloodless at this time, maybe he was scared or tired, and it was really difficult for him to catch up with Li Jinshi's speed. Behind them are all the people of the independent regiment, not only the strength of the milk, but almost all the potential has exploded, and it is even much faster than the speed of small Japan chasing, no one stops, no one feels tired. There are still a lot of equipment on their backs, it's not that they don't understand or forget to unload the equipment, but they don't have time to do the unloading of equipment at all, even if they are slow for a moment, they may be swallowed by the yellow water dragon. Just remember one thing, that is, run!
When the wall of water passes by, a piece... Perhaps only one piece is appropriate. A piece of water slammed into Li Jinshi's left side of his body, and at that moment, he was thrown far away, and the hand holding Cao Jinbiao was opened by the water. It's just a wave of water behind a wall of water!
In the blink of an eye, the yellow water in the sky is boundless, surging, undulating. From time to time, it tossed over the things it devoured, beams, furniture, livestock, vehicles, trees, and countless corpses and heads, and even their terrible cries!
Li Jinshi has never felt emotion about life and death, because he has seen too much life and death. And at this time, he really couldn't be indifferent! Thousands of lives, including old women, children, and pregnant women with bulging bellies! He seemed to be able to see their unwilling eyes closed, to see their struggles with the waves, and to see the resentment of death.
Li Jinshi knelt in the mud, and the raging wall of water continued to sweep away, taking away its subsequent waves. Leaving behind a mess and countless aggrieved souls, there is no life, and perhaps only the soul is still wandering with unwillingness.
Li Jinshi covered his face, not wiping the yellow muddy water, but trying to hold back the tears he shed! The many unpleasantness, grievances, and regrets that had been suppressed in his heart for many days collapsed at this moment, along with the shocking pain!
The independent regiment escaped, but one by one they knelt in the mud and wailed. It is impossible to figure out, only hoarse and howling can release that kind of grief and indignation, that kind of depression, that kind of unspeakable helplessness!
The officers and men who were crossing the river, the officers and men who were waiting to cross the river, and the Japanese soldiers who had already chased after them, all walked along with the wall of water!
That's how iniquity works, and God's wrath will only do it to those who do it. Li Jinshi, Cao Jinbiao, and the officers and soldiers who knew the time of retreat all wanted it. This is a man-made disaster, a complete man-made disaster......
Looking at the wall of water in the distance, looking at the waves of water that follow, no one will think that this is the end, only that this is the beginning. Hundreds of thousands of people! It is better to let them stand on the wall and be suddenly killed by the Japanese!
